Busy families on the go often rely on fast food for quick lunches and dinners when there isn’t time Bto cook. The downside is that fast food meals aren’t always as healthy as we would like. With that in mind, several establishments are offering lighter and healthier options. A recent FDA ruling is requiring all chain restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus. Some restaurants already do, making it easier to plan if you’re watching your weight or want to provide lighter meals for your family. Here are a few ideas to try at your local fast food favorites. Chick-fil-A McDonald’s Various Katy locations One look at the menu board at Chick-fil-A will tell you Various Katy locations that there are many lighter items to choose from.

  • Liberals Eat Here. Conservatives Eat There. - Washington Wire - WSJ
    Liberals Eat Here. Conservatives Eat There. - Washington Wire - WSJ http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/05/02/liberals-eat-here-conservative... May 2, 2014, 7:56 AM ET ByReid J. Epstein The most liberal Americans shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s supermarkets, according to an Experian Marketing Services gauge. Bloomberg News Can you tell a person’s politics based on where they buy their groceries or hamburger? In their front page story Thursday about how demographic shifts in suburbs are changing the politics of America, the Journal’s Elizabeth Williamson and Dante Chinni write about how the arrival of restaurants like P.F. Chang’s and Chipotle are telltale signs that conservative exurbs are turning liberal. Experian Marketing Services does a rolling survey of thousands of people who patronize restaurants and retail establishments to determine, among other things, the politics of stores’ customers. The survey assigns liberal and conservative scores to different establishments based on their customers’ political preferences. A 100 is average, a 120 is 20% more liberal or conservative than average, 80 is 20% less than average, and so on. Some places, like Burger King , have liberal and conservative indexes that are both below average because they attract more independents. There are clearly regional biases here. The supermarket chain Harris Teeter scores 113 on the conservative index, probably because its stores are predominately located in the Southeast. Oregon-based supermarket Fred Meyer, which is owned by Kroger and has stores in the Pacific Northwest, scores 154 on the liberal index. Among fast-food establishments, the most liberal customers eat at Au Bon Pain.
